Modeling Contest 16 - TANKS

[PROXY]

Where is the body of it Fan

it's just a WIp >.< will post more WIps next weekends

 

[Mr. Bob]

Tada. Mesh and UVWrapping is done. And yes, that gray barrel will glow team color when it's done. The poly count is 2446.

It's a bit plain on the sides like the outside of the tracks its like a grey slab but the rest of the tank looks nice.

Strange. My tank also has a fuel canister on the back... with the same sign.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

anyways, here is my WiP
had this for few days and i have finished my tank. the finished version will be shown on whether i decide to make a different tank or not.

Maybe you both found the sign of a fire fitting for a fuel tank?

 

[Mr. Bob]

Hmm your right. Should I add guns to it maybe? Not sure what else to do.

EDIT: I shrunk the sides down and now it looks fine.

lol. Which tank? This one or a previous one?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Pyramidhe@d. awesome tank the custom texture is great. But it almost looks like it has an open cockpit... almost like there should be someone sitting atop the turret driving it ;D

EDIT: Btw, i guess that it is time for me to post a WIP of my tank.... looks very technical huh?.... lots of lines and dots and stuff :/ .... completely useless picture though, have to keep some of it a surprise

TANK

 

[infrenus]

Well, a WIP:

I changed the big plasma cannon thing for a pod mortar thing =p

 

[General Frank]

lol. Which tank? This one or a previous one?

This one.

What a shame, even the WIPs of your former tank looks better >.>

That looks DAMN nice, hope to see it finished, and I just wanted to point out that it rather looks like it could be an Ork form of tank (warhammer 40000 ofc)

 

[ZIR]

New WIP
Tried to texture it a bit i now it looks ugly.

Exercise is the best way to become better and better. Just keep trying.

Oh, btw, here is new image showing my tank in destroyed state:

Busted!

Animations are done now. now I just need to add some attachment points and particle effects and of course other goodies.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

ZIR
try other textures, like steamtank or the tinkerfactory

GF
looks thoroughly destroyed, but that texture overlayed on it looks weird

 

[ZIR]

ZIR

I use the TinkerTank texture and is has more parts of a tank than TinkerBuilding.
But I'm not really good at texturing so it looks so weird like now. But I try to improve it.

 

[Mr. Bob]

What's wrong with it?

the decal idea is indeed from an ork deffkopta.

DeffKopta

just painted one and couldnt resist doing a similar one. The main body was based on ww1,2 tanks but turned out looking like a lemen. except those two points, i can proudly say the rest are my idea or my ideas based on all the accumulative researches i had over the years.

 

[Time-to-die]

Now if only all the entries can finish in time, this will be a good contest!

 

[General Frank]

We still got exactly three weeks. I think everyone who is concerned and able to will finish his or her entry.

 

[Celaquil]

What's wrong with it?

There isnt necessarily anything wrong, and it does look like a decent tank. But your first one looked pretty damn neat, while this one simply looks... Plain, in comparration. Might just be me having an eye for inovation >.>

It's the same tank...I just replaced the legs with wheels for polies sake, and removed that retarded cockpit. And, I added a texture... The previous version looked so good because I worked my magic with the Mental Ray renderer in 3ds max 2010. It could never look that good in a piece of crap like WC3. D:

I think so too.I dont know why but legs looked more ... wonderfull!

 

[BlargHonk]

He clearly likes legs

 

[chilla_killa]

Tomorrow my last exam and then I'll animate

 

[Mr. Bob]

Your right they did. Problem is, it's like another 1500 polies or so. Plus, the rig I had wouldn't have worked in a walk anim.

 

[Ham Ham]

Nice models on this contest. Unfortunelly nobody made a real-life tank.

 

[Tleno]

My toughts exactly.

 

[Pyritie]

Those are boring!

 

[Ham Ham]

Those are boring!

Not if you try to reproduce a real tank in every detail, in a +200kb mdx.

 

[DarkKnight]

That should then probably be in a competition where size doesn't matter (In other words, a competition where the model doesn't have to go in any game)

 

[Celaquil]

Your right they did. Problem is, it's like another 1500 polies or so. Plus, the rig I had wouldn't have worked in a walk anim.

It doesnt neccesarily have to have legs, just be more inovative. As is right now, your model looks like what just about anyone would think of when they hear the word "Tank" >.>

That COULD be a good thing though.

 

[Ham Ham]

Well, a 200kb model is not all that unuseable in-game. I have seen people massing 300kb models without lag.

That's the reason I made it like that. D: The mods are really pushing for a basic tank structure. If the next contest is a mech contest, I will make something likewise.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

So I know I wont get first or second but here is my WIP so far. I guess I'll join for practice
I've only put an hours work into it, so I'll probably redo the actual tank body :/

[ikillforeyou]

No one but mr.bob or General Frank will get first or 2nd. it's just a question of which one will get higher votes.

=P

I wish they had like, noob modelling competitions. =P

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Well I'm going for 3rd xD

Edit: New WIP

Should probably start texturing soon... thats going to be fun... xD

WIP

Do the treads touch the ground? D:

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

Do the treads touch the ground? D:

yes they do

WIP

Still incomplete for texture

Working on Animation

NEW WIP

I'll work on it more tomorrow... and try to learn how to animate the tread....

 

[Drakai]

Looks good so far.The spiky thing in the front could use some more work.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

True, I'm thinking about makeing the spikes a bit bigger. I'm mostly worried about my animations, only my second attempt at animating a full on unit xD

I didnt use concept, just started making lol...

so far it has

Stand
Stand - 2
Attack - 1
Attack - 2
Walk

to do list:
Team Color(Need to learn how to do that first too lol)
Attack Slam
Spell
Death
Add Special effects to the attack animation
Add Missles to the missiles launcher
Add Light to the lights
Add Morph Alternate
Alternate animations

Idk how to add particles to animations, or make the tread move yet. Any one know any tutorials for that?

Will these models be tested? I hope so cause I have a feeling it will look a lot better in game!

 

[Amigurumi]

hmm, I think I'm out, I don't have enough time to model. Also I don't see any chances to
come into the top 3 D:

Well, good luck guys, and I want to see some nice tanks

contest ends on the 31st you still have time

 

[Amigurumi]

contest ends on the 31st you still have time

well, the deadline is not my problem. I have to do a lot of school stuff,
so there is not enough freetime. Maybe I can find some minutes
to continue, but I don't think that I can finish it.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

I think you will find time, BTW any one know if its possible to do Team color with Geoset Animation?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

Forgotten Warlord, i regret to inform you that morphing units will not be accepted in this competition, This rule was added on about a week or so ago for numerous reasons.

Predominately,
1. Morph animations would increase time necessary to finish said models, and as such, defeat the purpose of an "easy tank" theme
2. Not all contestants are making a morphing unit, the extra animations would certainly make the entries uneven to judge.
3. there has already been a morphing unit competition, and we hope to avoid repeating themes.
You are, however, perfectly within your rights to give your models numerous spell animations, or alternate animations (assuming that the alternate animations are from upgrades and not from morphing)

This rule has been in the first post for quite some time

oh ok :/ Well I was just going to make it turn the head lights on and off but oh well I guess I'll add that after the competition....

 

[DarkKnight]

I don't think that classifies as morphing XD

 

[anarchianbedlam]

I dont really see the point of creating a complete alternate set of animations for turning headlights on and off, that seems like it would be an incredibly large and useless waste of kb space..... :/

 

[DarkKnight]

That depends on how epic the lights are and how many.

 

[Forgotten_Warlord]

lol, well it was an idea Thought it would be neat to have a tank that turns its headlights on at night xD
